LAVING DOWN A LAWN. , When it is desired to form a lavn, ibe ground should be trenched as f'.i reeled for the vegetable garden-any tune during the autumn. If the plot c.i" be prepared in March, a season iia; be gained by sowing the fjr.iss -eed during that month; the surface puisi be thoroughly pulverised .nd 1 redden down firmly. The following is a good mixture ; if procurable: — Crusted Dog-taif" 21Ds; Festuca tenuiioiu;, 41 bs; Festuca duruscula, 21bs; Loliuin tenuifolia perenne, 201ba; White ciovor ,21hs; Trifolium minor, Slbs; Poa Nemoialis and Sempervirens Jibs of each. This mixture will 'ufiiee for half an acre, and will form a very good lawn, and if kept cut close answers most soils. Special mixtures for laying dosvn lawns may also be aad from any seedsman. Some of our native poas and other grasses answer admirably tor lawn purposes. If the ground is of a retentive nature, sowing" the seeds should be deferred till August.
